Dear all,

Thank you all for visiting, reading and sharing the news with me on the Fukushima Appeal Blog. I’ve kept it running since February 2012. Unfortunately, I will need some break now to attend to some of my health issues.

I would like to thank this blog and its supporters for giving me an opportunity to become a part of the slowly awakening global community during this very important time of global change. I had zero knowledge of nuclear before the Fukushima disaster, and was and still am a just normal citizen. It’s been hard to see Japan becoming a criminal, immoral and authoritarian country since the Fukushima Disaster. So it’s been a huge awakening and healing process to have a platform to speak out instead of feeling powerless, angry and sad about it. With the new secret law that is going to be introduced in Japan soon, Japanese people will need more help than at any other time in its history from foreign bloggers, doctors and scientists. Please remember Fukushima. I hope that the more difficulties we may encounter, the stronger and connected we will become to fight against injustice and be able to act from our heart space. (Mia)

日本の皆さん、がんばってください。 再稼動反対、子供を守れ! 1mSv/yの約束を守れ!

"Do NOT come to Fukushima and do NOT eat the food products!" - Support evacuation instead!



"Do NOT come to Fukushima and do NOT eat the food products!" - Support evacuation instead! 
(translation by Mia June)
Mr. Shigenobu Inamura’s speech, bravely using his real name at an anti-nuclear rally in front of METI (Government building) on 29/3/2013
Mr. Inamura has been living in Tokyo for 30 years. He was born to a family who used to run the Geisha house in the Hot Spring area in Nihonmatsu-City which is in Fukushima Prefecture.
This is what he had to say;
“We want you to remember Fukushima but please don’t come to Fukushima! and do not eat Fukushima products!
If you visit Fukushima, you are supporting the Japanese government’s misleading safety campaign that helps to establish that Fukushima is a safe place to live, hence, the children of Fukushima will not be evacuated out of Fukushima.
If you eat Fukushima products, in the same way, you are helping to establish that Fukushima food is safe. Then the Fukushima children are coerced to eat the radioactively contaminated local food at school lunch.
On the TVS morning program, Minomonta, The TV presenter showed statistics of the decreasing sale of Fukushima products, saying it was because of “Fuhyo Higai” (Harmful rumor, see below) He sounded like he was supporting Fukushima farmers.  I feel pity for Fukushima farmers, but I think it’s a consumer’s right to feel concerned about Fukushima products.”
Also he wanted to share what he heard from people who work in the Forest Industry. He felt deeply touched by their words;

“They said they just need to wait patiently and let the land to heal from the radioactive contamination by itself, and hope for the best.
Removing the radioactive contamination from the leaf molds is impossible. And anyway, getting rid of the leaf molds would be detrimental to the environment because the most important aspect of the leaf molds is that the forests water retention capability would be lost if the mold were removed.
Therefore, decontamination of the forest wouldn’t work for us. We would lose our jobs. Fukushima prefecture is 70-80% mountainous. If they decontaminate the land, they need to do all of it (according to what he described, it’s impossible) or Japan admits the extent of the contamination in Fukushima prefecture and acts accordingly. That's the only way to show the world our sincerity, and then we can only start to gain our trust from the rest of the world.”

(Editor’s comment)
”Fuhyo Higai” means harmful rumor (by the Japanese government). This word has been used a great deal to cover-up the real danger of ionizing radiation in food grown in Japan by the media and the central/local governments. They say it’s safe without any belivable transparency. The Japanese food authority checks only about 10% of the food! Furthermore, they only check for the isotopes iodine131 and cesium134/137. As an aside, most food authorities in the world do not check for other types of isotopes either.)

A response to Mr. Inamura’s speech from the listener of the video.
“I had a friend who was a farmer in Fukushima Prefecture. I used to buy, and enjoy, eating his products.
After the disaster, I suggested him to come to the West of Japan to work on the land and rice fields. After a while he sent me his products, I think it was a thank you gift for my suggestion. However, I didn’t feel like eating them and had to throw them away. I felt sad about doing that. I didn’t know what to say to him afterwards.
I haven’t heard from him since. So sadly, we lost our friendship and our contact. I would like to use this blog to express some thoughts.
Those experienced farmers in Fukushima prefecture deserve a second chance. They should be given a piece of land in the West and South of Japan that has not been used for a long time. I’m sure they will be able to contribute to our farming industry. What on earth are the Government and Farm Ministry doing to help people in Fukushima and save our country?”

(Editor’s comment)
*Current allowable amount of ionizing radiation in food in Japan is 100Bq/Kg (for cesium).  Most of Japanese people including farmers think 100Bq/kg is a safe limit. However Japanese rice before the Fukushima disaster only used to contain 0.01-0.1Bq/kg of cesium. In other words it is 1000 times more radioactively contaminated. 
 
*Becquerel is a unit indicating the amount of radioactivity emitted coming from radioactive decay in an atom per second. One of main radioactive materials, Cesium* is used to measure the amount of allowable radiation in the food. So for example if you consume 100g of rice that contains cesium 100BQ/kg, Cesium will keep emitting radiation 10 times per second (86400times a day), damaging nearby cells whilst it is decaying, that is, until it is eliminated out of the body.

*Some farmers try to find a way of maintaining their farming by experimenting and using “EM”=effective microorganisms. http://newsoul.blog25.fc2.com/blog-entry-398.html
